Chapter 182: Confrontation (5)
After sending Captain Luo and his seriously wounded brothers to the designated position, the brigade commander took the remaining 200 people and retreated to the Dongzhai Gate in Xizhai; All facing the west village neatly arrayed.
"Salute!" The brigade commander ordered with tears in his eyes.
More than 200 scarred soldiers of the White Tiger Army saluted to Xizhai, where they fought, and where all their robed brothers were buried, which will be deeply engraved in their bone marrow.
"Captain, brothers, I, Jiang Jiong, swear that in this life, I will kill all the Xirong thieves, destroy their sect temple and society, and avenge this sea of blood." While saluting, the brigade commander swore an oath in his heart.
In fact, not only the brigade commander Jiang Jiong, but all those who survived by luck secretly swore in their hearts that they would avenge this blood and sea of revenge.
Jiang Jiong took his brothers away, and walked all the way to the east in three steps.
When Jiang Jiong and the others walked east for about five miles, a fire suddenly ignited in Xizhai, and soon turned into a skyrocketing fire, and even the sky was reflected red by the fire; The burning fire completely blocked the westward advance of the Xijon army.
Shimizu Camp.
Murong De stood outside the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at the burning Xizhai and frowning tightly.
"The last general will see the marshal." Murong Hao trotted all the way to Murong De and saluted.
"What's the fire?"
"The remnants of the White Tiger Army in the village set fire, and most of our brothers who attacked the village were burned to death." After speaking, Murong Hao knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general is incompetent, causing our army to lose troops and lose generals, please punish the marshal." ”
"For the sake of your voluntary confession, Ben Shuai will not be severely punished." Murong De said: "Someone will drag it down and fight the battle of the thirty armies." ”
"Yes." The guards standing on both sides directly dragged Murong Hao down.
Murong De beat Murong Hao, it can be said that one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer; The reason why this is done is actually for the soldiers to see.
Although Xizhai was captured by the Xirong army, the losses of the Xirong army were very heavy, and so far incomplete statistics show that the Xirong army has lost at least 11,000 people; Such a small cottage not only wasted three days of time for the Xirong army, but also lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and this responsibility naturally has to be borne by someone; As the head coach, Murong De naturally can't take charge of the rules, so he can only let Murong Hao carry this pot.
In fact, Murong De himself knows very well that this battle is fought by another person, and the loss may not be smaller than now; In the first battle of Xizhai, the White Tiger Army gave Murong De a blow to the head, which not only did not knock Murong De unconscious, but knocked Murong De to his senses.
————————
Jiang Jiong led the remnants of the Xizhai soldiers, ran to the east for less than eighteen miles, a cottage similar to the West Village stands in the middle of the avenue, the whole cottage is located in the north of the Qingshui River and is built by the mountain, the wall of the cottage is slightly higher than the wall of the West Village, there are more than two zhang; However, the strange thing is that the west wall of the cottage does not leave a wall, it is completely a wall.
Before Jiang Jiong arrived at the wall, the soldiers of the White Tiger Army guarding the wall discovered them, and sent two groups of brothers to slide down from the wall through ropes to meet Jiang Jiong and the others.
"It's the brothers from Xizhai." Before Jiang Jiong and the others could come to him, they were questioned.
"Jiang Jiong, the commander of the Xizhai Brigade in Xiaxizhai." Jiang Jiong saluted regardless of his injuries.
"Lvshuai Jiang, why are you and the others!"
Jiang Lushuai and the others all bowed their heads and were speechless, and several people immediately understood.
"Lv Shuai Jiang, I was ordered to greet you." The team said: "Our army has already laid out a lot of organs in front, please follow us Brigadeshuai, I am afraid that my life will be in danger if I am not careful." ”
"There are brothers." Jiang Jiong thanked him.
"There is one more thing, bother Brigadeshuai Jiang and the brothers, and take the weapons on your body next." The team continued.
"What do you mean? Do you think Lao Tzu is a spy? Jiang Jiong immediately became angry.
"Brigadeist Jiang, please don't misunderstand, we are also on orders from above." The team said rightly.
Jiang Jiong clenched his fists and threw his weapons to the team very unwillingly, and the rest of the soldiers saw that Jiang Brigade Marshal had handed over their weapons, and they all handed over their weapons; However, these soldiers felt very aggrieved in their hearts, fighting desperately in front, even if they retreated back with scars, they never dropped the weapons in their hands, but they didn't expect to be disarmed when they arrived at the door, and it was impossible for anyone to feel comfortable.
Jiang Jiong and others followed the team to the wall, and the soldiers guarding the village pulled them up one by one with hanging baskets; After entering the cottage, Jiang Jiong and the others received a warm welcome, but they fell to the ground before they could enjoy it for long.
"Quick, arrange all the brothers in the camp tent, and send the military doctor to treat the brothers' wounds." General Wei Chen Shan ordered loudly.
More than a dozen military doctors shuttled back and forth in the snoring military tent, treating the wounds of the soldiers who had withdrawn from Xizhai, and at the same time, the Huotou battalion began to boil meat and soup, and prepared the meal, so that Jiang Jiong and others could eat hot food as soon as they woke up.
Jiang Jiong and the others slept very hard, and they slept for a day and a night before waking up.
"Jiang Lushuai, you're awake, the meal is ready, let's eat first!" The guards on duty outside Jiang Jiong's tent saw Jiang Jiong come out and said.
"Where's the sound of fighting?" Jiang Jiong faintly heard the sound of fighting and asked the guards.
"It's the wall of the wall, and the Xirong army is attacking the wall!" The guard replied.
"Quick, give me a war knife, I will go into battle to avenge Captain Luo and his dead brothers." Jiang Jiong grabbed the guard's shoulders and said.
"Brigade Marshal Jiang, you can't go to the battlefield, General Wei has ordered, you have to go to the Chinese army's big tent to see him after you wake up."
"What do you say? General Wei wants to see me. Jiang Lvshuai was a little surprised.
"Yes, if it weren't for General Wei's desire to see you, you would have been sent to the Great Earthquake Pass with the others."
"What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and lead the way. ”
"You haven't eaten yet! The small ones have already been served. ”
No sooner had the guard finished speaking than another guard came over with a tray of meat buns and a large bowl of broth; Jiang Jiong didn't care whether it was hot or not, he picked it up and ate it, and he ate it all after dividing it by two, and the guards agreed to take him to see General Chen Shan.
Jiang Jiong came to the outside of the big tent of the Chinese army, and heard that the voices inside the big tent were very chaotic, obviously discussing the military situation fiercely; After the guards on duty went in to report, Jiang Jiong was allowed to enter the Chinese army's tent.
"Humble Jiang Jiong......"
Jiang Jiong just wanted to kneel down on one knee and salute, but Chen Shan stopped him and said, "You don't have to salute if you have an injury, sit down!" ”
"General Xie."
"Ben Jiang called you here today to tell you that Ben General has asked the general and the lord for his order to promote you to Captain Zhichong, and your appointment letter has been sent." Chen Shan said to Jiang Jiong with a smile: "Come on, bring the armor and saber, and Jiang Jiong will take the armor." ”
Jiang Jiong knelt down on one knee and took the armor and battle knife, and he was speechless with excitement.
Chen Shan continued: "Although you are now a captain of Zhichong, except for the more than 200 wounded soldiers you brought from Xizhai, there is not a single soldier for you. ”
"General, it doesn't matter if you have soldiers or not, just let the lowly ones go to the battlefield."
"If you go to war, you will die of this heart! The general hasn't shivered yet, so let a wounded soldier go to the battlefield, and now your task is to go back to the Great Earthquake Pass to recuperate. ”
As soon as Chen Shan's voice fell, a brigade commander came in and reported: "General, the Xirong army has launched seven or eight group charges against our walled wall in one go, and our troops have suffered heavy casualties, so please send troops to rescue as soon as possible." ”
